Vodka. If you are prone to have a drinky-poo, from time to time, and like coctails involving vodka, tell your bartender you do not want to drink Russian vodka

Tell the bartender, if they have, to use Ukrainian vodka. Else of course use Finlandia or any Polish vodka

So there are two major Ukrainian vodka brands that are reasonably widely available in USA and around the world. They are Khor Vodka like this:

And the Nemiroff vodka also from Ukraine. Ask your bartender to use Ukrainian vodka

If the bar does not stock Ukrainian vodka, and you are a regular, ask them to get Ukrainian vodka and to tell you when they have it, you want to taste it

If your bar does not have Ukrainian vodka, do insist, your bartender NOT use Russian vodka in your drinks

You are ALWAYS safe to drink the best vodka in the world, which is of course... Finlandia vodka

And of Ukraine's neighbors, helping so much in the war right now... you cannot go wrong with any Polish vodka! If you have not tried one, do that. Polish vodkas are excellent, some of the very best on the planet
